They always try to sit at the elitists table while eating from everyone else's plate. It makes me puke.

You don't seem to understand that samsung's mobile division is separate from their parts divisions. One does not, and can not, affect the others.

This would be why you agree to support Apple. A company that only thinks of itself. It's partners and customers are things that are used up and spit out.

I personally don't run my business this way and if it means I don't make as much of the almighty dollar then so be it.

You sound like you base your opinions purely on PR. If 2 corporations benefits something they tend to cooperate even if they mortal enemies of diffrent markets, like Samsung manufacturing chips for Apple, like Apple contribute with Google to Webkit which is fundament of there browsers, like many Linux Kernel contributors, like many corporations that have slashes with Microsoft still supports Windows because it's still most popular desktop OS. Business does not know pride, at the end it's about money and interest.

You're right on a lot of this but I think that with some calculated manovering Samsung could hurt Apple if they decided to not supply them with the chips they need. There are very few companies that can supply this volume of chips that are still working on the bleeding edge. Especially now that Texas Instruments is opting out of the mobile chip game.

I'm not saying it would ever happen, but if Apple can't supply their products, some people on the Apple/ Android edge may be tempted to buy other devices rather than wait. And those devices will probably either be phones with Samsung parts anyway or be a Samsung phone instead. So Sammy wins either way and possibly way more if they are actually selling someone their S3 or S4 over just the profit they get from selling parts to Apple.

It only takes one patent to wreak havoc. Take the slide-to-unlock feature, for example.

Do you see where I am going with this? If Apple were to patent the wireless charging, which they did not create, only use in longer distances, they could eventually say that any distance that a phone is being charged wirelessly from is part of their patent.

Motorola Photon 4G

You seem to be under the false impression that there is only one type of wireless charging. That is not the case. The technical details of the patent matter. Without knowing exact details, it is premature to pass any sort of judgement.

I am not a blind follower of anything. Just because I don't buy into the bs that you and others propagate here (that anything that apple does, says, or writes is wrong) doesn't make me a blind follower. It would be to your benefit to actually drop your bias and pay attention to facts for once.

I will once again say that you don't know me. I am basing my comment on every post I have ever seen you write on AC which is some type of Defense of Apple. I give Apple credit for the quality products they make. Search my posts for proof. But Apple as a company are a bunch of slanty scumbags. Steve Jobs was an a** to his employees and his philosophy and legacy continue on even after he has gone. They sue and hurt innovation and honest people. They call their competitors thieves then steal from others. If this is how all companies are supposed to run then I feel sorry for humanity. Find me a case where Google, Microsoft or IBM are sueing small businesses like a school or apple Orchard over some petty thing that means nothing. It doesnt exist. It's not about what is legally right it's about what is good. Google may not be perfect but they have proven that they will do what is good and not be evil. They recently had an opportunity to sue Apple via Motorola held patents. Yet even after a judge said that they had a case they opted to drop they case to little fan fare. Apple drops nothing. They sue sue sue. They are greedy to a fault. It's not about the quality of their products for me, it's about the integrity to make a purposeful impact on society regardless of financial gain. Any company that is as big as Apple that would waste so much energy hurting innocent people in the name of corporate gain don't deserve the success they have had.
